I am very bullish on the market and excited to join CloudJumper in support of its cloud forward partners and customers.”

Prior to CloudJumper, Brandl served as global business development manager for VMware’s Horizon Cloud on Azure business unit.

We are very pleased to have Robin join our team as his experience will be instrumental in the expansion of important technology partnerships globally.”
